Tesla Plaid

Curiosity got the best of me so decided to pick one up. It's so fast and weird at the same time! Love it!

Not sure yet what we can make for it but the gears are already turning over here. It was home for around 5 minutes before I yanked off those ugly factory 19" wheel caps.

Congrats, it looks beautiful. Back to having the fastest and quickest car out of all of us again

The power and response is just insane. You can be rolling along at 60mph and floor it and you're instantly over 100mph. I wish BMW would put this Plaid electric drivetrain in the M3 with real buttons and a normal steering wheel lol.

Even at 20% charge it's pretty quick! A few 60-130 runs at the same track with various charge levels. All runs were started at around 35mph in plaid mode. Wasn't able to collect a 60 or 70 but good comparison data here when planning your race days.

Very interesting that there's a 2s drop from 90% to 20% charge.

How much charge would one run typically use?

For 60-130 runs maybe 1%. 1/2 mile runs 2-3%.

For posterity one of the 1/2 mile slips from this weekend at No Fly Zone. Was hitting the "175mph" limiter 100-200' before the cones so probably close to 180mph in this sled if that limiter is ever raised up. Just a casual [email protected] 1/4 mile also flooring on a dusty runway. 60-130 was consistent 4.7s all day.
